Various queer words were not allowed

In honor of Disney+ Day on November 12, Star Wars fans got their official first look at the highly-anticipated Obi-Wan Kenobi series. And though it’s not the first trailer many had been hoping for, we at least have a glimpse at what’s to come with a behind-the-scenes featurette.

A holiday classic gets the massive Lego playset it deserves—no parents or sibling minifigures included.

The newly muscled-up Kumail Nanjiani plays Marvel’s immortal superhero Kingo in November 5th’s Eternals — but that’s just the beginning of the former Silicon Valley star’s radical career makeover. In our recent interview with Nanjiani (coming soon online and in the new issue of Rolling Stone), he also discusses his role in 2022’s Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi, in which Ewan McGregor reprises the title role for the first time since 2005’s Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith. Here’s what Nanjiani had to say about that top-secret show, which is set between Episode III and IV in the saga.

Columbus and his producing team are developing a live-action 'House of Secrets' series for Disney+ based on his books.

“We feel like there’s always somebody else that will fill our spot,” Disneyland cast member Gabriel Sarracino told SFGATE, “and we’re just there.” Sarracino has worked at the Disneyland Hotel for 15 years as a valet, parking cars and assisting guests with their luggage. For all of those 15 years, he’s earned minimum wage from Disney and supplemented his income with tips. But a recent decision from leadership that prevents valets from handling luggage has cut substantially into his earnings.

Captain America is no doubt one of the most recognizable characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, mainly because of the impressive portrayal of Chris Evans. The actor was first introduced as the Star-Spangled hero during 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger, and the character has since left a mark in the eyes of MCU fans ever since.

Disney is notorious for pushing its queer characters to the sidelines. Sometimes you can barely tell if they’re there at all, like Oaken’s maybe-husband in Frozen, or LeFou’s longing for Gaston in the live-action Beauty and the Beast. Then there are more prominent side characters in Disney-owned properties, like Joe Russo’s cameo in Avengers: Endgame, or the background lesbian kiss in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker that could be easily edited out.

In 2019, when forces like WarnerMedia, NBCUniversal, and Viacom were just gearing up to take on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon in the “streaming wars,” one of the greatest causes for consternation was The Office. Specifically, the fact that the NBC sitcom was leaving Netflix for the network’s own upcoming streaming service, Peacock.

Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fandom is a fount of strong opinions, some of which I find wholly understandable (Tilda Swinton’s role was a fiasco; Sebastian Stan is an underrated gem) while others are a little more… puzzling. In the latter category, it’s always bizarre to see people praise the MCU’s lighting.

The movie is available as a Premier Access title.

Disney+'s latest Marvel series, "Loki," is the biggest show in the world. "Loki" became the most in-demand series in the world across all platforms faster than Disney's other Marvel Cinematic Universe shows, including "WandaVision" and "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," according to the research company Parrot Analytics. The company measures "audience demand," which reflects the desire of and engagement with, or overall popularity, of a series.

Emotions run high as Disneyland reopens after an unprecedented yearlong pandemic closure. A lot has changed.

Microsoft might be working on a Mandalorian game in addition to Indiana Jones from Machine Games according to a new rumor.

The success for this savvy service isn't as simple as the "Disney" name.

“It’s essentially like a new opening weekend every week,” Marvel boss Kevin Feige says of episodes dropping each Friday Disney+ has done something even more heroic than the Avengers taking down the mighty Thanos: It made streaming series like “WandaVision” and “The Mandalorian” weekly appointment viewing.

For years, Disney has been keeping 80% of the revenue from older shows that it distributes to streaming platforms, leaving only 20% to be available to stars and other profit participants

Very quickly, Disney has become perhaps the dominant force in the video streaming world. Just about six months after the company announced it had over 100 million streaming video subscribers, Disney has revealed it has almost that many on Disney+ alone. In today’s earnings report covering the last quarter of 2020, Disney announced that it now has 94.9 million Disney+ subscribers, 39.4 million Hulu subscribers and 12.1 million ESPN+ subscribers. Overall, Disney is up to 146 million streaming video subscribers all told, with Disney+ a force to be reckoned with.

Disney announced Thursday that its streaming platform surpassed 94.9 million subscribers.

It looks as though The Mandalorian is cleaning house. Actor Gina Carano has reportedly been released from her role on The Mandalorian as former Rebel shock trooper Cara Dune following significant criticism regarding her social media posts. She has also parted ways with her agency UTA, according to a report from Deadline.
